ANA POPOVIC - Unconditional (2011)

"Unconditional" is Ana Popovic's third album for Eclecto Groove Records which finds the fiery guitarist in top form as she takes a back to the roots approach with what promises to be her most blues oriented recording to date. The album was recorded in New Orleans with Grammy-award winning producer John Porter, who previously worked with Ana on her smashing U. S. label debut Still Making History, and features some very talented special guests including Louisiana slide guitarist Sonny Landreth and harmonica virtuoso Jason Ricci. The cover is a stunner, with Ana stripped bare and the CD itself promises musically to be back to the bare blues essentials too.

Of the album’s twelve songs, eight are originals by Popovic from which two co-written by writing partner Mark van Meurs. Also on the album, songs from the rich blues history done by some of Ana's favorites, like Koko Taylore, Buddy Guy, Otis Span, Nina Simone and Sugar Pie DeSanto. “The title Unconditional, Ana explains, "describes what I feel on stage. That place is simply unconditional. It is magical. It’s just me and my guitar, notes, sounds and drum grooves. I let the band lift me up, and I feed off of their energy. I hate to think when playing. I only feel. Unconditional is how I stand towards my music -it’s mine, it’s sacred, and it’s with no boundaries. Absolute, definite. I tend to put everything I have into it and don’t let anything or anyone get in between, except the people that truly inspire me."
